Re: remote control

The Samantha module must be pre-configured with the SSID and Passcode for it to connect to the WiFi network. You preconfigure the Samantha network with the Samantha Network Configuration tool.http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/fi ... _Teams.pdfThis is done on your laptop with a USB flash drive. You run the samocfg.exe tool, enter the SSID and passcode. It will generate the network configuration file to your USB flash drive. Then you insert the flash drive to the Samantha module following the instructions described in the above doc. There is no UI allowing you to preview the available wireless networks and pick one.

Re: remote control

the only reason we arnt able to do this is probally because of the fricken wifi stuff...so i wil try ot reset and go through all the steps in setting this up and see if that helps, also how do i make it so the wheels go as fast as how i want them to...rather than start and stop at full power?

I don't understand your question. Do you mean you want a gentler start and stop? Are you talking about teleop or autonomous? Please explain your question.

Re: remote control

1. i am talking about tele-op, when i move the joysticks alittle bit its just immediate start and then immediate stop when i move joysticks back.2. how do i move lets say, and arm on port A agian on tele-op?3. okay, i figuerd out that the robot is trying to connect to the school guest network instead of the network we use for the cisco router, so how do i change which wifi signal the samantha is trying to connect to?

(sorry about this msg being multiple questions <.>

This depends on how your code is using the joystick value to program the motors. Please post your code so we can help you figure out why.

Again, there is not enough information in your question. Are you trying to have some controls on your game controller to move the arm? If so, what is it? A stick, a button? What do you want the behavior be?

You have to ask more specific question. "The code didn't help" does not tell me anything. Do you have an encoder on your arm motor. If you don't and you just want to use the joystick to control the arm without regard on any limits on the arm swing, then you could simplify the code:
